    The combination of his two-way contract and the Spurs being loaded on the perimeter makes it challenging for Gillespie to achieve fantasy relevance during his rookie season. However, he shot the ball quite well on Monday, making five of his nine three-point attempts. Gillespie also dished out six assists while committing two turnovers in what was an excellent conclusion to his California Classic. He’ll look to do more of the same in Las Vegas at the end of the week.
  • A starter in both games he played at the California Classic, Reed recorded a double-double in Monday’s 88-84 defeat. And with fellow first-round pick Jayden Quaintance yet to play after revealing during his introductory press conference that he may need another procedure on his knee, the rookie out of UConn may be better equipped to compete for rotation minutes immediately. The Spurs won’t need Reed to be a prolific scorer, but his rebounding and defensive ability should give him an opportunity to contribute as a rookie.
  • SAS Center #10
    Reed’s first bit of NBA action was a fairly unspectacular one. He shot inefficiently but made it to double figures as a scorer, while his seven boards led all San Antonio players for the game. Reed was selected with the 26th pick in this year’s draft. Even if he finds minutes in a talented Spurs frontcourt this upcoming season, it’s unlikely he will provide much fantasy value.
  • SAS Head Coach
    Donovan has 11 years of NBA head coaching experience between his stops with the Thunder and the Bulls. He won two college basketball championships with the University of Florida. Donovan left the Bulls in April and is putting a pause on his head coaching career. A decorate coach at 61-years-old, Donovan can certainly impart some wisdom on 44-year-old Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson.
  • SAS Forward #12
    Harris, a 15-year NBA veteran, did a lot of good things for the Pistons in his latest two-year stint with the team. He was a starter on the court and a positive influence off the court for a young team with NBA Finals aspirations. Sound familiar? Harris, who turns 34 later this month, is slated for a similar role with the Spurs. Fantasy expectations should still remain low for Harris.
  • SAS Forward #40
    After beginning the 2025-26 season as a starter, Barnes fell out of the starting lineup just before the All-Star break, making just three starts the rest of the season. The veteran forward did not offer great fantasy value as a starter, and the situation became even more dire once he hit the bench. Barnes’ return gives San Antonio another experienced option to call upon in the frontcourt, but he’s unlikely to get the opportunities needed to affect fantasy basketball.
  • SAS Forward #30
    Instead of simply exercising his option worth $3 million, the Spurs have rewarded Champagnie handsomely with a new contract. Appearing in all 82 regular-season games, starting 68, the 6-foot-7 wing averaged 11.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.4 three-pointers, shooting 43.7 percent from the field and 84.4 percent from the foul line. While the Spurs did add more size via the draft, selecting Jayden Quaintance and Tarris Reed Jr., Champagnie should still figure prominently in the team’s rotation next season.
  • LAC Forward #2
    Nothing is going to happen with Leonard until the NBA concludes its investigation into whether or not the Clippers circumvented the salary cap to compensate the 34-year-old forward. For now, the Clippers are determined to keep Leonard and his preference is to remain with the team. The Raptors have genuine interest and Leonard would be open to signing an extension with the Raptors or the Spurs in the event of a trade, according to Fischer. On the other hand, Leonard wouldn’t be open to an extension if dealt to the Pistons or the Heat. The results of the investigation and Leonard’s future will continue to be a storyline to watch this offseason. Stay tuned.

    The 6-foot-8 Brown played two seasons at Syracuse before transferring to Duke ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. As a senior, he averaged 4.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks in 20.3 minutes, providing decent contributions off the Duke bench. His length and athleticism have him on draft radars despite limited offensive production; Brown averaged 2.2 steals per game during his sophomore season at Syracuse. Brown’s offensive impact is limited, but the Spurs have once again made an effort to beef up their frontcourt. Brown, along with Tarris Reed Jr. and Jayden Quaintance, should help ensure San Antonio will be stronger down low when Victor Wembanyama is on the bench.
  • After two seasons at Belmont and one at Maryland, the 6-foot, 182-pound Gillespie transferred to Tennessee for his senior season. Appearing in 37 games, he averaged 18.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.1 steals and 2.8 three-pointers, shooting 41.0 percent from the field and 81.4 percent from the foul line. Gillespie’s speed and acumen helped him compensate for the lack of size, and that will need to remain the case at the next level. In San Antonio, his ability to defend will give him a chance to fight for minutes on the back end of the rotation. Gillespie may not offer much in redraft leagues, but he’s worth having on a roster in dynasty leagues.
